(KLZA)--Governor Jim Pillen has been notified that a federal disaster declaration submitted to President Donald Trump has been approved.
Damage in Nebraska resulted from a severe winter storm that impacted the state on March 18 and 19.
The application for assistance was submitted in mid-April. Cost estimates from that storm exceeded $64.8 million - the bulk of which resulted from downed electrical lines and damaged utility poles.
27 counties are eligible under the declaration including Johnson and Otoe counties in Southeast Nebraska.
The Nebraska Emergency Management Agency has begun working with local emergency managers and public entities now eligible for assistance under this declaration.
